Description:

This40A 12Vautomatic multi-stage mains batterychargeris designed to enable safe and efficient unattended charging of a 12V battery or battery bank from a mains power source (220-240V AC). This mains charger boasts an advanced 7 stage charging processwhich delivers faster and more efficient charging,whilst eliminating therisk of voltage fluctuations.

This unitis ableto charge either a single 12V battery, or several 12V batteries connected in parallel (batteries must be the sametype, capacity and age).

This mains battery charger is compatible with Lead Acid batteries, including AGM, Gel and Wet cell batteries.

Key features:

• Safeunattended charging:the unit featuresinbuilt safety functions (protectionagainst DC short circuit, overheating, overcharging and reverse polarity of the battery), which allow the chargerto beleft permanently connected to the batteryfor unattended automatic charging. Unlike many other mains chargers,the charging voltage is also free from peaks which offers smooth uninterrupted charging.
• Continued charging during battery use:the charger will continue to operate while energy is drawn from the battery during use.The unit will maintain the charge if the battery is already at full capacity.
• Boost-charging feature:thispreliminary charging stage canimprove battery condition and recover lost capacity from older batteries. It improves the charge delivered to the batteries, thereby increasing battery life and preventing premature battery failure.
• Dead battery recovery:the desulphation stageis able to break down sulphation that occurs in batteries which have been left flat for extended periods of time, returning them back to full charge.
• Automatic temperaturecontrol:tomaintain an optimalinternal temperature, the inbuilt fanis automatically enabled when ahigh temperature or charging current is detected.
• LCD Display:shows vital information regarding the charging process (charging voltage / charging current / different charging stages). LED lights also indicate the battery type.
• Power pack function:can provide a directsupply of power to a 12V load (e.g. 12V fridge) with no battery connected (e.g. during battery replacement).

This chargeris also supplied witha1.5m mains AC cable with a UK 3-pin plug, battery cables, and spare fuses.
